7. HOW CAN I GET BITCOINS?
• Buywith Paypal or your creditcard
(current rate USD ~9.46 at mtgox.com)
• Mine bitcoins yourself with Mining-Software
• Have others mine bitcoins for you on your
website with JavaScript. (e.g. bitp.it) or by
using WebCL (e.g. kradminer.com)

8. THE JS MINER
• Simple script you load • Don’t worry, it will decrease
• Turns visitors computing • Sustainable? Yeamaybe...
power into bitcoins perhaps
• JS is ferociously inefficient
• 5000 users/day staying 2
minutes on your site each =
USD ~25.00/month with JS
• USD ~2,500/month with
WebCL

9. IN ANY CASE...
• Inform your users. Let them participate in earnings or
opt-out.
• Offer mining as alternative or complimentary to
advertisement.
• Don’t mine on mobile devices. iPhone batteries suck
hard enough already.
RESPECTFUL
